HP Recovery Manager for Windows 8 Pro HP Envy Sleekbook 4-1080ee Came with Windows 7, 64 bit & downloaded Windows 8 Pro upgrade from Microsoft I just got this machine as new and straight away upgraded to Windows 8 Pro without creating any backup media for the Original Windows 7 that came with it. Now in Windows 8 pro if I try to run Recovery Manager to create a recovery for future use, I get an error stating as follows: 'Recovery Manager was for Windows 7. It's not compatible with Windows 8' How do I solve this issue. Similar Messages • I installed all the softwares and drivers that came along with the HP upgrade DVD.

I liked the backup and recovery manager that was available on my Vista when I bought this laptop but is now unavailable because of the upgrade!! Any solutions for this? I do not want to use the default Windows Backup as I do not have a separate HDD at the moment to store the backup there and do not wish to populate my local hard disk with backup data!!

However, if you have problems, recovery discs will work. As well, if your recovery partition still exists, you can still access it by pressing F11 when you see the HP logo at startup.

• I have a new HP Envy dv6t 7300 notebook. I have turned it on twice. First time I only created my computer name and user ID name and password.

Second time (a few minutes ago) I activated Windows 8 and immediately went to create system recovery disks. I typed in the search box 'Recovery Manager', clicked on it, and chose 'Recovery Media Creation.' It then gave me the message 'You are only allowed to create ONE set of media recovery' to which I clicked on 'I accept.' It then took me to the screen that said 'Please insert one of the following media'. (I was following a you tube explanation of how to do this and so far everything was fine.) However, when it got to this screen, it appeared (from the you tube video), that I was supposed to click on my choice of the media I was going to use (either flashdrive, DVD, or DVDDL.) However, nothing would happen when I tried to click on 'DVD'. Instead, below the choices to use, the 'gear' icon kept spinning, acting like it was going to do something.but it kept spinning and spinning.

Since it said at the top of this screen 'Please insert one of the following media', I thought maybe I needed to put in the DVD. Still nothing happened.

The gear continued to spin. So I thought maybe the computer was hung.

So I took out the DVD and closed out of Recovery Manager thinking I'd try again. Now, however, when I type in the search box 'Recovery Manager' nothing comes up. Just the message 'No settings match your search.'

Certainly I can still make these disks, right??? Certainly my 'one' time isn't gone because I closed out. Please someone help me! Thanks This question was solved. View Solution. Hello parob12, You’re not able to create recovery media.

If it started the recovery creation, it might have counted that as the one set. You can call HP and let them know what happened and they should send be able to send you a set. Here is a link to the phone number. Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks! Let me know how everything goes. Have a good day. • need to create a recovery disk for windows 8, on HP Pavilion g6-2238dx Notebook PC.getting error message because I unintentionally deleted part of the program.
